With the first pick in the 2009 NFL draft

The Oakland Raiders select.. With the news coming out today that Javon Walker was found unconscious in the streets of Las Vegas, expected to be a victim of a robbery, you can count on those words being read. Al Davis has said Javon Walker is the key to the Raiders upcoming season. Walker is said to be hospitalized in fair condition, with a fractured orbital bone. The same injury TE Marcus Williams career was cut short for after being attacked in practice by Romanowski. The robbery may have stemmed from an earlier report of Javon Walker buying 15 bottles of Dom Perignon at Tryst night club, solely for the reason of spraying said bottles. Here is the photographic evidence from spyonvegas.com


This odd news comes just a couple months after the Raiders signed him to a six-year, $55 million contract that includes more than $16 million in guarantees and pays him roughly $27 million over the first three years of the deal.

With the severity of the injury still not known, this could be crushing to the teams hopes for the 2008 season. All our prayers are with Javon and his family and hopefully from this, someone will learn a lesson. If your rich, famous, and like to spray champagne all over clubs don't walk home alone (and why would someone like him walk home alone, makes you wonder if his entourage set him up or did the beating themselves).
